Watch-Listen On Demand Now BHN Talk Radio Special: Scientist say earthquake 'doublets' are a concern and should not be ignored

Geologists and expert scientists say the back-to-back earthquakes are happening frequently against the norm


By Black Headline News

Listen to a recap of the Sunday, August 23 episode of the BHN Talk Radio Show with Julia Ann Dudley Najieb, Cheryl Smith and Brigitte Jones as they cover feature news story: "Understanding Earthquakes." The show reflects on the recent earthquake calamities worldwide California's predictions from top geologists and scientist, and the truth of the matter versus "fear."


As earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that geologists and scientists continue to examine, what's recently noticeable is the large double earthquakes that are happening within seconds and/or minutes--devastating earthquake victims across the world. The shallow earthquakes are also a concern for scientists as human causalities increase from such disasters. A shallow earthquake is an earthquake that originates between the Earth's surface and a depth of 70 kilometers (about 43 miles).


Here is a list of key earthquakes over 6.0 from June 2026 thru August 2026: (Information provided by Earthscope.)


14 August 2026

An earthquake occurred off the north coast of Flores Island.


10 August 2026

An earthquake occurred near San José del Palmar, Colombia, west of Bogota.


28 July 2026

An earthquake occurred near Uto, Japan, causing extensive damage to structures.



17 July 2026

A shallow magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred just offshore near the border of Mexico and Guatemala. A small tsunami was produced locally.


24 June 2026

A magnitude 7.5 earthquake occurred immediately after a separate 7.2 near Valencia, Venezuela.


Meanwhile in the states, California sits at a high risk of a massive earthquake due to the "1,000-Year High Stress." Recent studies show that segments of the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems have reached their highest tectonic stress levels in a millennium because they have not produced a major earthquake in over a century to release built-up pressure. Also researchers at San Jose State University found that the San Andreas Fault is slipping faster than previously thought, according to a new report.



About the Volunteer Science Group

Featured guests scientists, Dr. John Ahn and Dr. Anastasiya Pashigreva are from, ALLATRA, which is an international alliance of scientists, experts, and professionals from over 180 countries, working together on a volunteer basis with the goal to:
